@ellieb6 … It is not that cut and dry Ellie. Based on history, the answer is a clear maybe So do not freak out if you got your materials in early and do not here on the 1st round. Means nothing.
Again the first wave is likely today or next Friday. 2nd wave right before Xmas. 3rd Wave in mid to late January.
I don’t even think the answer is “maybe”. I think the answer is no, that’s not what colleges mean by “rolling admission”. I believe what they are saying when they say rolling admission is that they don’t have specific dates that they release decisions or they don’t release them all at once. They release them gradually over time as they go through the complicated admission process and take in to account things like determining how many accepted students will actually attend, admission quota factors, applicant’s criteria, etc. The timing of when you get a decision probably relies more on your stats and what school you are applying to (Business, Engineering, etc) than it does anything else, including when you completed your application.
